What is Calcium carbonate?

Calcium carbonate is a chemical compound containing calcium ions (Ca2+) and carbonate ions (CO32-). Calcium carbonate is a type of salt that is found in nature as calcite and aragonite minerals. Calcium carbonate is used in the production of cement, lime, plaster, flour, food and food supplements.

What is calcium carbonate powder?

Calcium carbonate powder is a powder form of the chemical composition of Calcium Carbonate. This powder is usually extracted from calcite or aragonite rock and is used in the production of building materials, food, cosmetics, paper and cellulose products, etc. due to its physical and chemical properties, including antiacidity, moisture absorption.

Types of calcium carbonate

  • Calcite: Calcite is one of the mineral forms of Calcium Carbonate, which is found in natural conditions as white or colorless crystals.
  • Aragonite: Aragonite is another mineral form of Calcium Carbonate which is found as colorless or light yellow crystals.
  • Waterite: Waterite is one of the hydrated forms of Calcium Carbonate that exists in certain conditions such as formation in water.
  • Argonite: Argonite is also one of the hydrated forms of Calcium Carbonate that exists in certain conditions such as formation in water.

Types of calcium carbonate in terms of application

Oral calcium carbonate

This type of material is used for food industry and food supplements. For example, in the production of flour, edible calcium carbonate white flour is used as an inhibitor of gluten formation.

Calcium carbonate

Animal feed

Animals need calcium carbonate for bone growth, nerve function, and milk and egg production. Animal feed calcium carbonate contains calcium element. Farm-grown food, such as grain and cattle feed, is usually not enough to provide all the calcium an animal needs.

Poultry food

Poultry feed calcium carbonate is also used as a source of calcium for poultry and helps the growth of poultry and laying of eggs.

What are calcium carbonate tablets good for?

Calcium carbonate tablet is a food supplement that is used when the amount of calcium consumed in the diet is not enough. Calcium is needed by the body for the health of bones, muscles, nervous system and heart. This product is also used as an antacid to relieve heartburn, acid indigestion and upset stomach.

Industrial calcium carbonate

This type of calcium carbonate is used in various industries such as the production of cement, lime, plaster, paper, plastic, etc. In these industries, calcium carbonate is used as a widely used material to adjust pH, absorb moisture, increase strength and whiten products.

  • Calcite in industry: This type of calcium carbonate is known as a mineral and is used in the production of cement, lime, plaster and construction materials.
  • Aragonite in industry: This type of calcium carbonate is also known as a mineral and is used in the construction industry, glass production, plastic and food industries.
  • Whiting in industry: This type of calcium carbonate is used as a bleaching agent in various industries such as plastics, paints, food and health products.
  • Precipitate in industry: This type of calcium carbonate is used as a filler in paint, coating, rubber and polymer industries.

Calcium carbonate detection method

To test whether a mineral or rock contains calcium carbonate, strong acids such as hydrochloric acid can be added to it. If the sample contains this product, it gasses and produces carbon dioxide. Weak acids react like acetic acid, but at a slower rate.

Calcium carbonate or lime

Lime or calcium oxide (CaO) is obtained from high quality natural deposits of limestone or Calcium Carbonate. Limestone is a sedimentary rock that was formed millions of years ago as a result of the accumulation of shells, coral, algae and other ocean debris.
